Detectives investigating the disappearance of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, were left without two of the Pima County Sheriff's Department's most experienced homicide investigators because of an earlier personnel dispute, according to the president of the deputies' union.
Sergeant Aaron Cross, president of the Pima County Deputies Organization, spoke publicly on 15 August about what he described as personnel and leadership problems that had weakened the department's Homicide Unit before Nancy disappeared.
